``The doctors kept telling me it was a clogged milk duct from breast-feeding,'' Myrna said. My plastic surgeon had told me that I could, but that I would have great pain and pressure in my right, burned breast, and that he had heard of no procedure by which that breast's milk ducts could be opened to relieve the pressure.
